the art pressure with the one inch is 240-280 Venus pressure is 240-280 the 3/5 inch is 160-180 Venus is 160-180. this is mercury pressure that shows on the dialysis machine the 400 is 400 hundred milliliters per minutes. once again let me state the only difference is the length of the needle...

400 hundred milliliters per minut

OK i will have that for you tomorrow

all are 400

outer diameter 1.81 to1.85mm

The flow is always the same needle size is the same except for the length 1 inch versus 3/5 inch. so what do you all thing is the physics equations for this?

Everthing is the same diameter flow the only difference is the length 1 inch versa 3/5. we get the same results on thousands of patints[

[OK everything is the process pump speed all the same they only difference is the length.1 Inch versus 3/5 inch. I have been told that if you had a garden hose 50 feet long and one 250 long you would have a different pressures this the venturi effect. The reason i need this info is that I'm...

I'm a vascular access nurse for a Kindey dialysis center my question is this; when we cannulated with a 1 inch needle and run the pump at 400 we get art and venous pressures of 240 to 280. When we use the 3/5 inch needles the pressure drops to 160 to 180 what is the law of physics for this in...
